Overview
- The victory opened an unassailable 11-point lead with three matches remaining.
- Jacob Bergström scored in the 21st minute and Tom Pettersson added a second seven minutes later.
- Mjällby has lost only once, sits on 66 points, and has conceded 17 goals in 27 games, and it can set a new points record with one more win or two draws.
- The team plays at 6,000-capacity Strandvallen with a mostly local squad and a budget far below Sweden’s giants, drawing comparisons to Leicester City’s 2016 triumph.
- The surge follows a near drop to the fourth tier nine years ago and a rebuild under chairman Magnus Emeus, supported by data-driven methods and passionate backing from over 1,500 traveling fans.
